National leader Judith Collins has stepped up her attack on the proposed Māori Health Authority, calling it segregation from last century and in need of public consultation.
Her comments have been slammed by Māori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, calling it desperate racist politicking , saying Collins should read her party s own 2020 election review which recommended making Māori a priority area .
The state is planning to privatize up to 49 percent of energy group Enefit Green in the first half of 2022 and will also begin with the process of listing three other companies (Operail, Teede Tehnokeskus and Levira).
The government gave Minister of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure Taavi Aas (Center) the task of privatizing the non-strategic business directions of logistics company Operail. The company will likely receive approval in May this year.
The state intends to maintain control of the strategically important railway freight company. Revenue from the sale of non-strategic businesses must ensure improvement to service quality and investments to the depreciated locomotive fleet, estimated to cost €74 million in the near future.
